I learned, from the project, how they viewed certain aspects of my teaching, and how they were learning, and the environments they preferred when it came to learning. And it was really interesting about hearing the range of ways in which they would like to learn and the ways that I hadn’t really considered. So as a teacher, it’s really nice for me to open up a space where students can start to explore those ideas around teaching and learning, given there’s so much emphasis on teaching and learning. But really, you want this perspectives from children, and here we were doing that.

I think it’s really lovely when we have a moment or we have a term within the class where you are dedicating it to how students are learning and asking those questions about their learning. And I think they feel very empowered when they are able to talk about, actually, do you know what? I think this scenario or this environment works when we learn, and learn in this way, or, I think, actually, when we do this, I really learn better in this way. And having those discussions and opening up those questions allows them to feel valued in this teaching and learning process.
